Well i finally got around to creating a map and directions. I will have printed out directions for everyone on the day of the event. Here is a copy of the map. The route has five (5) stops and is about 107 miles long with roughly 20 scenic miles between stops. We will draw our first card at the beginning of the run, and the stops are as follows:
1. Fender's Diner - have lunch at a 50's-style diner in Cornelia
2. Tallulah Point Overlook - old skool trading post above the gorge
3. Moccasin Creek State Park - campgrounds on Lake Burton
4. Dairy Queen - sweets in Hiawassee
5. Best Western - downhill twisties back to Helen

Bring your cameras. Lets get lots of pics for posting on the website.
Maybe someone (James) with a nice camera could take a picture of each car and it's people before we hit the road.
Anyone one who can make short videos is encouraged to do so. One more neat thing we could post. _________________ 73 Typ481

Let's meet in the parking lot of KingPins Bowling near Jefferson/129 and the Loop, for the drive up. Does 4:30 work for everyone? That's about the earliest I can do. _________________ '69 Bug, 1776, dual kadrons, Web 111 cam

Sounds good. Steve and I have been talking about locations along the route to take some group photos as well as individuals. _________________ 73 Typ481

Cool! The bigger the crowd, the bigger the fun. It looks like 40+ cars is very possible.
Just got new tires on the Thing. I'm SO ready. _________________ 73 Typ481
